"Handmade Nation" documents the new wave of craft that is capturing the attention of the nation. It's the feature film debut of Faythe Levine, co-owner of Paper Boat Boutique & Gallery in Bay View and organizer of the yearly indie craft fair Art vs. Craft. Faythe Levine traveled to 15 cities and covered more than 19,000 miles to interview subjects of the film. A book by the same title, written with Cortney Heimerl, was published in October by Princeton Architectural Press.

Presented by Milwaukee Film. Milwaukee Film was founded in 2008 to serve as the area's independent organization dedicated to hosting Milwaukee's premier film festival. For more information call 414-755-1965 or visit the Milwaukee Film group on Facebook.
